Hymn: The Happy Dead

BLEST are the Dead who in the Lord depart,
From henceforth Blessed write them down!
For Labours tho, and Pain they have known,
Of neither feel they more the irksome smart.

So says the Spiri't; for but to' enjoy full rest,
From all their Toils are they remov'd;
And of their Works, by God approv'd,
That follow close, in Bliss they are possest.
